Ok, lesson time...............
I will not go into a lot of detail, but, "Long Items" shipped any way
"But" First Day Air, this is bound to happen.
I have in the past shipped a good many rifles, expensive rifles.
Using the "factory" inner & outer boxes.
When one arrived to my customer "Broken clean in half", with "A Foot Print" on the box I went through the roof!
After "A Lot" of screaming on my my end and plenty of excuses on their end I was told the truth.........
Any thing not shipped First Day Air goes down a conveyor "chute" that has a curve/turn in it, when a long item gets hung up in that curve they start kicking at it or throwing other packages at it, most often they "stomp" and kick at it to get the "log jam" cleared.
"That" is why there was a foot print on my rifle box.
I found this out by shouting at the top of my lungs that one of their employees had an "Anti-Gun" attitude, propped the box on the bumper of the truck and stomped it.
I told them I was a member of the N.F.F.L.F.D., (National Federation of Federally Licensed Firearm Dealers), and that owed me an "Article" because they printed my phone number incorrectly in the "Annual" dealers registry.
I told that jackass, "I just thought of what the article should cover", "I am going to call the article",......
"Alternatives To UPS"
I said I had a few horror stories of my own, and that I was going to put together as many as I could and pick the very worse for the article.
I went on,... I will praise "Every other" shipping company, DHL, FedEX, California Overnight, and bash UPS with true stories of how they damage expensive items, then weasel out of paying for the loss to the shipper "Even when they purchased insurance!"
The next words from this fockhead were, "Where would you like the check sent?"
This that I have written here is 100% accurate.
I swear to God himself.
Follow what I did, call back pissed off, tell them that you could not get a decent sleep after hearing about how "Long Packages" are kicked and stomped when they get hung up in the curve of the conveyer and first thing that morning you
called "A Nationally distributed Mopar Magazine", the story editor you spoke to said to collect up the best UPS horror stories you can from the automotive community and send him a rough draft.
He liked the storyline "Alternatives To UPS", and that he will handle the rest.
The next words should be, "Where do you want the check sent?"
IF Not, go into overdrive..............
Tell him you are a member of an Online Mopar forum with just shy of 20,000 members, and that you are so pissed off that you will make a plea to
Every Member of the forum to branch out and re-post the article in Every Automotive Forum they can locate on the internet.
Tell them , "You guys are going to burn me for my claim",
Fine, "Do IT!"
My goal is to cost your company several hundreds of thousands of dollars by getting shippers to switch to other companies.
Now, the next words you hear should be..................
Where do you want the check sent?
If not, tell them you have had it up to your eyebrows, .............
"See you in court", and be prepared to talk to the media........
Say, "I am an online publisher and editor", and I will make damn sure at least a half a dozen online writers will be in court that day, as well as some shippers who will tell their horror stories to the judge as a means of showing a pattern of
"Willful disregard of your duties as a shipping company & to make the argument that you are now and have a history of operating in Bad Faith when it comes to making good on insurance claims".
Or, you know what, give me the details and let me handle it.
I know from experience how to handle these fockheads .
That rifle, the one that had the footprint on the box..................
It was not insured.
I fought that hard just to get the $100.00 blanket insurance that is given to every package UPS ships.
Now I am all pissed off again......
Where is the rest of that rum I found the other night.
Ethic-less, ball licking bastards, Bite my *** UPS.
